Act of Contrition

0 my God, I am sorry for my sins.
In choosing to sin, and failing to do good,
I have sinned against You and Your church.
I firmly intend, with the help of Your Son,
to make up for my sins
and to love as I should.

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong, and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance,
to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.

[Sacramental Life]
